    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023) Şen, Mehmet Ali; Pirinçci, Edibe
    Purpose: This study examined hookah use by students, their gambling status, and the factors affecting it.Materials and Methods: The research was descriptive and cross-sectional. A stratified random sampling method was used (n:1,724). A questionnaire and the South Oaks Gambling Screening Test (SOGS) were used to collect data. The data in the study were evaluated by number, percentage, average, t test, ANOVA, chi-square and regression tests in the SPSS 18.0 program.Results: The mean age of the students was 23.38 ± 4.98 years, and 57.3% were male. The average age for starting hookah smoking was 17.84 ± 3.61, and the smoking rate was 20.9%. The decrease in age, being a man, smoking, and smoking hookah in his immediate environment increases the student’s hookah use (p < .05). In this study, gambling at least once in a lifetime was 22.8%, and possible pathological gambling was 1.0%. The SOGS score increases with age, low grades, alcohol use, low family communication, and dissatisfaction with life.Conclusion: In our study, the students’ levels of substance use, especially hookah and gambling, were significant. Campaigns can be conducted to raise awareness among students about the dangers of hookah smoking and gambling addiction and to attract their attention to other areas.

    (Prusa Medical Publishing, 2023) Yakar, Burkay; Pirinçci, Edibe; Şen, Mehmet Ali; Yaraşır, Ezgi
    Objectives: Testicular tumors are the most common malign tumor in men aged 15-35 years. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial in testicular cancer because if detected at an early stage, testicular cancer can be completely cured. Because of this reason increase in awareness and regular testicular self-examination (TSE) is recommended in the early diagnosis of testicular cancer. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behaviors of students about testicular cancer and testicular self-examination. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in Health care vocational schools of 2 different universities between November 2018 and January 2019. Data were obtained by a self-applied questionnaire comprised of four sections. Results: One hundred and six (37.7%) participants could not answer any question correctly. While 65.8% (n = 185) of the participants stated that they had heard of testicular cancer, the rate of those who heard about TSE was 17.8% (n = 50). Only 5.7% (n = 16) of the participants reported performing TSE. Binary logistic regression analysis was shown that the following factors increase men’s intention to perform TSE: Students’ academic unit [OR = 4.36, 95% CI: 1.37-13.88], age [OR = 0.2; 95% CI: 0.008-0.72], city [OR = 0.64; 95% CI: 1.15-1.49], those who have heard of TC before [OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.016-0.917], received information about TC [OR = 0.001, 95% CI: 0.015-0.309], and those who have heard of TSE before [OR = 0.01; 95% CI: 0.001-0.079]. Conclusions: One-third of the university students had never heard of testicular cancer, and TSE was not sufficiently practiced. There is a lack of information on this issue. It was thought that organizing training programs on the subject would raise awareness and save lives by early diagnosis.

    Kadına yönelik şiddet ve hukuksal boyutu
    (Sağlık ve Sosyal Yardım Vakfı, 2020) Şen, Mehmet Ali; Pirinçci, Edibe
    Bu çalışma kadına yönelik şiddet ve hukuksal boyutu hakkında genel bir bilgi vermek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Kadına yönelik şiddet; kadınlara fiziksel, cinsel, psikolojik veya ekonomik zarar veren veya verebilecek olan toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı her türlü eylem ve bu eylemlerle tehdit etme, zorlama veya keyfi olarak özgürlükten yoksun bırakma olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Kadın hak ve özgürlüğünün korunması ve kadına yönelik şiddetin engellenmesi amacıyla hukuksal olarak çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Türkiye’de ise devlet eliyle kadına yönelik şiddeti ortadan kaldırmak için İstanbul Sözleşmesi imzalanmış, 6284 sayılı ailenin korunması ve kadına yönelik şiddetin önlenmesine dair yasa çıkarılmıştır. Her ne kadar kadına yönelik şiddeti engellemek amaçlı kanunlar çıkarılsa da yine de bu hukuksal çalışmalar şiddetin ortaya çıkmasında yetersiz kalmaktadır. Ataerkil aile yapısının hâkim olduğu anlayışlardan kaçınılmalı kadına hak ettiği değer verilmeli ve toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımından kaçınılmalıdır.
